In this Spindle Spotlight, I'm demonstrating how to start spinning, spinning as a top whorl, and spinning as a bottom whorl. This is a good starter spindle because it's large enough to spin singles and ply with.


Spindle Style Pros:
Easy to start
Portable
Huge variety of styles and makers
Easy to find/purchase

Spindle Style Cons:
Weight increases as cop builds
Coordinating spinning and drafting with a suspended spindle can be frustrating for new spinners
Dropping the spindle when a single breaks can also be frustrating (and can damage spindle)
